Firefox 3 - SEO’s Best Friend

Firefox, the search engine optimization expert’s best friend has finally released version 3.0 of their browser software with has been reported as a world record number of downloads in one day.

This browser is search engine optimization friendly due in no part to the number of tools and add ons that make our day that little bit easier. There are certainly more tools and functions than IE.

I am normally loathe to install a 3.0 version of anything - I like to wait until at least the first bug fix - however I took the plunge and so far so good. I have read reports that bugs have, of course, already been detected so a 3.1 or 3.01 will be around soon.

I haven’t come across any site issues so far which is a blessing. Site building and search engine optimization doesn’t require tweaking to sit comfortably with this browser. There are reports that IE8 will break sites built for earlier versions. Will webmasters update or will IE8 be an instant failure?

There are a lot of new features built into Firefox 3 so I suggest you read the documentation and check it out for yourself. If you are in the field of search engine optimization then the associated tools really do help.
